What is Trauma and PTSD?
Trauma pertains to experiences that profoundly affect individuals, rendering them incapable of effectively coping. Such events include natural disasters, abuse, violence, accidents, and witnessing such occurrences.
Experiencing or witnessing trauma can lead to the onset of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Signs and symptoms of PTSD include nightmares, intrusive thoughts, avoidance of situations related to the trauma, heightened alertness, and adverse changes in thinking and mood.
The causes of PTSD can vary among individuals, even if they�??ve undergone the same traumatic event. Genetic predisposition, imbalances in brain chemistry, previous exposure to trauma, and a lack of social support can all contribute to the development of PTSD.
The typical treatment of PTSD often combines medication with therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These interventions are meant to manage symptoms, facilitate the processing of traumatic experiences, and foster the development of adaptive coping strategies.
